Senior iOS Developer Contractor

Senior iOS Developer Contractor

Job description

We are hiring a Senior iOS Developer Contractor to lead the development of our first mobile application. Our codebase is open source and we have already begun work on the native app, which is also open source.

We are hiring contractors — as opposed to full-time employees — because we’re still working out the shape of our long-term technical team on this project. It’s our goal to build relationships with folks that are interested in being paid as they contribute to the open-source project and platform. This will be a good opportunity for anyone who is a) already doing some contracting, and/or is b) interested in leaving their current job and looking for something to sink their teeth into while they figure out what's next.

We value emotional intelligence and communication skills. We want to work with developers who want to build an inclusive software ecosystem as badly as we do.

Primary Responsibilities

Provide technical guidance on the overall direction of the iOS project and codebase

Help the core DEV team improve our development process, and instill best practices

Maintain close coordination with the open-source community

Requirements

Experience developing iOS application in Swift

Track record of publishing apps on the App Store

Perks

Flexible work hours. We strive for good asynchronous communication.

Compensation / Location

Competitive hourly salary

We are headquartered in Brooklyn, but have no preference of in-office vs. remote

Requirements

About DEV

DEVis an online developer community and discussion platform. We strive to operate an inclusive space where programmers of all backgrounds and experience levels help each other grow, discover great ideas, and forge meaningful connections. We currently serve over 100k registered community members, and reach over 1.5 million unique visitors each month. We are seed-funded and growing quickly.

We are headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, but we have no preference whether you work remotely or at our HQ. We are "remote-first," and our assumption is that most future teammates will not be based in NYC. All meetings are held over video-call in order to ensure a consistent and equal experience regardless of location.
